LTC Announces Operating Results for
the Three and Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2005

WESTLAKE VILLAGE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 7, 2006--LTC
Properties, Inc. (NYSE:LTC) released results of operations for the
three and twelve months ended December 31, 2005 and announced that net
income available to common stockholders for the fourth quarter was
$6.5 million or $0.28 per diluted share. For the same period in 2004,
net income available to common stockholders was $4.7 million or $0.23
per diluted share. Results for fourth quarter 2005 included a loss of
$0.7 million from a sale of a skilled nursing property located in New
Mexico and income from discontinued operations of $0.8 million.
Results for fourth quarter 2004 included income from discontinued
operations of $0.8 million. Revenues for the three months ended
December 31, 2005, were $18.2 million versus $15.2 million for the
same period last year.
For the twelve months ended December 31, 2005, net income
available to common stockholders was $35.4 million or $1.56 per
diluted share as compared to $15.0 million or $0.77 per diluted share
for the year ended December 31, 2004. Results for 2005 included a loss
on sale of assets of $1.5 million and income from discontinued
operations of $3.1 million. The $1.5 million loss on sale was related
to two skilled nursing properties, one located in New Mexico and the
other property located in Texas. The New Mexico property was part of a
master lease and the rent from that master lease was not adjusted as a
result of this sale. The Texas property was closed and not generating
revenue to the Company. Included in these results for 2005 is the
effect in the first quarter of the receipt of $22.3 million in cash
related to the payoff of a note receivable which included past due
rental and interest income that had previously not been recorded by
the Company. The Company stated that the effect of the note payoff is
included in the results for the first quarter and twelve months ended
December 31, 2005 as follows: $3.7 million in rental income related to
past due rents that were not accrued, $2.3 million of interest income
related to past due interest that was not accrued, a $0.5 million
reimbursement for certain expenses paid in prior years on behalf of
CLC Healthcare, Inc., a bonus of $1.0 million related to the
realization of the value of the note and non-operating income of $6.2
million, net of $1.3 million of expenses associated with the
realization of the value of the note. Results for 2004 included a gain
on sale of assets of $0.6 million, income from discontinued operations
of $3.1 million, a $0.3 million impairment charge and a charge of $4.0
million, related to LTC's redemption of its 9.5% Series A and 9.0%
Series B Preferred Stock. Excluding the effects of the collection of
the note payoff in 2005 as discussed above and the preferred stock
redemption charge in 2004, net income available to common stockholders
was $1.06 per diluted share and $0.97 per diluted share for 2005 and
2004, respectively. Revenues for the twelve months ended December 31,
2005 were $73.0 million versus $62.7 million for the same period last
year.

NOTE: Quarterly and year-to-date computations of per share amounts
are made independently. Therefore, the sum of per share amounts for
the quarters may not agree with the per share amounts for the year.
Computations of per share amounts from continuing operations,
discontinued operations and net income are made independently.
Therefore, the sum of per share amounts from continuing operations and
discontinued operations may not agree with the per share amounts from
net income available to common stockholders.

Reconciliation of Funds From Operations ("FFO")

FFO is a supplemental measure of a REIT's financial performance
that is not defined by accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States. We define FFO as net income available to common
stockholders adjusted to exclude the gains or losses on the sale of
assets and adjusted to add back impairment charges, real estate
depreciation and other non-cash charges. Other REITs may not use this
definition of FFO and therefore, caution should be exercised when
comparing our company's FFO to that of other REITs. FFO is used in the
REIT industry as a supplemental measure of financial performance, but
is not a substitute for net income per share available to common
stockholders determined in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States.
The following table reconciles net income available to common
stockholders to funds from operations available to common stockholders
(in thousands, except per share amounts):
